I'll be on the West Arm for 2 or 3 weeks again this year as usual and sure hope we don't have low water like we had 2 years ago. That was brutal to say the least.

Always enjoy your reviews Craig, very interesting and informative for anyone in the new boat market.

It's easy to do Boss.

Sorry to hear that news, it's always sad when we lose a beloved pet.

I never really spent alot of time at BPS, maybe 1/2 dozen times or so over the years. My wife enjoys wandering around the mall so we'd usually go up at Christmas, do BPS, the Mall and then have lunch and head home. I always enjoyed my trips there and can honestly say I never really had a bad experience. 99% of my musky gear comes from JB's so I never really bought any fishing stuff at BPS but I bought some camping gear there and a couple rain suits. I like the store and enjoy wandering around but haven't been there in a year or so but will maybe make the trip down there again someday.

I decided last year it was time to start wearing an inflatible and wanted the best I could find and after alot of research I came up with this Mustang. I'll be wearing it all the time now. http://www.mustangsurvival.com/recreational/hit%E2%84%A2-inflatable-pfd?division=recreation

Thanks MB, another epic read. The quality of your pictures is always amazing, so darned clear and sharp I always feel as if I'm actually there.

Sweet little pup you got there Bruce. He'll never replace your last little buddy but you'll probably become as close as you were with with the new one.

Good to hear they finally did the sensible thing and tossed the charges, just too bad you had to waste your's & the courts time. Far as I'm concerned the nitwit copper that charged you in the 1st place should have to reimburse you for all your trouble.

My Skeeter/Yamaha came factory equipped with a seperator so they seem to think their a good idea.

Thanks for the info NAW, that's interesting. I've been retired 12 years now and wasn't aware of that sorta thing and honestly don't agree with it, but I spose that's a topic for another day. We already pay a fee when transported by ambulance, now were gonna pay for a fire truck so I guess next we'll also pay for the police to be there too. Kinda makes me wonder what we're paying taxes for

We've still got some snow and ice in the shady parts Phil, but it's going VERY fast. Trouble is the lawns are like gigantic wet sponges.

I worked in emergency services for many years and saw alot of bad stuff happen because of lack of smarts, but I don't ever recall an incident where folks were charged because we responded. I'm certainly not defending these guys, I just don't see how they can legally be charged with anything, but then again, I'm not a lawyer.

I really don't see how they could be charged with anything . Is there an actual law that says they can't go on the ice, or did they disobey an order from police ?? I'm not being a smart azz, but although what they did was totally reckless and maybe even stupid, I believe it was still totally legal. Or did I miss something ??

I saw a huge flock of a couple hundred geese heading north yesterday, the robins are in the trees, I took off my winter wheels this morning and put on the summer chrome and now the 1st flower of the season has arrived Life is good...

Clear Lake in the Kawarthas is still covered but the neighbors dog went thru the ice this morning near shore so it would appear it won't be too much longer till ice out. The pooch got out OK.

I find it really interesting how many guys have made similar comments here over the years.

I'm just a few miles east of Pigeon at Clear Lake and from what I can see from here it appears to still be fully covered in ice so I'm guessing Pigeon will be similar ?? I could sure be wrong though.

Sorta like the dishwasher we bought 2 years ago. When I was hooking it up I discovered there was no way to connect the water supply hose to the machine, so I got out the manual and right there in black and white it tells me the part # that I have to go to the hardware store to purchase. I called the customer service and asked them why on earth they'd sell a dishwasher with no way to hook up the hose and got the stock answer....I dunno

Looking forward to all the warm weather that's approaching and this snow & ice can't go fast enough for me. It's been an easy winter but I've still had more than plenty. And also folks, with the time change its also time to replace the batteries in all your smoke and co2 detectors.

I was just having some fun, no offence meant

I believe you meant I'M just glad :lol: Sorry, couldn't resist

I agree with you 100% Skip, emergency services are there for everyone, whether they got into trouble through foolishness, mis-adventure, carelessness or just plain bad luck.

Good to hear your bud made it off OK Chuck.

I learned to fish with cork in the 50's and I'm still using it today. No sense in changing a good thing.
